Vampire Alpha's Mate

IRIS The happiness on my face disappeared when I noticed my stepfather standing at the door with a whip. I gulped hard as I approached him. I knew the whip was for me but what I didn't know was my offense. "Good afternoon, sir." I greeted him and made to walk past him but the glare on his face was enough to make me rethink that action. I wondered what Lyra had said this time to make him look that angry. "What's your mission, Iris? Haven't you taken enough from me and now, you want to take from my daughter?" He said through gritted teeth and fire-blazing eyes. What was he talking about? "I'm sorry, sir." Trying to ask questions would only make things worse, I learned this the hard way over the years. I bowed my head, my eyes meeting the ground. I dared not look into his face. The next thing I felt was a lash on my arms. I instinctively moved away from him, holding my arm. "Now, Iris, let me give you a warning. Stay away from Alpha Fenrir. He belongs to my daughter. A lowlife lik

IRIS "You piece of shît!" Bennett slammed my small body into a series of trash cans. Loads of dirt fell on me but he still didn't leave me. He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the house. I knew I was done for. Bennett wasn't a merciful man. He abused his strength whenever it got to my case and tonight, it was either he killed me or I kill myself out of frustration. I was bothered about what the outcome would be. The fact that Fenrir rejected me made me forget all my sorrows. It was as though I had become numb to the pain. The one way I thought I could exert my revenge on the people who treated me badly had just flashed before my eyes. "He knew I was his mate," I muttered to myself. "All these while, he knew and yet, he didn't say anything." I was pained, hurt, and broken. The thought of Lyra taking my place wounded my heart severely. The worst part? I had no friend to turn to. I was more or less a lone wolf. "I'm going to treat you like the trash you are, Iris," Bennett

IRIS The pain I felt in between my legs was nothing to write home about, coupled with the darkness and hunger I had to live with. I hope the goddess was enjoying the show because it just got better. "Stand up!" One of the female guards yelled at me and I stood up. The other one roughly grabbed my hand and pulled me alongside them. I wondered where they were taking me. During all three days in prison, I reminisced on my past, my present, and my future. I used to think I was special but now, all I know is that I have no reason to live. In a few days, I had turned worse than trash. I hated my parents, I hated myself, my parents, and the world. To hell with the goddess or whatever her name was. I was taken to a large kitchen and was asked to sit on thr floor. I obeyed without arguing. A tray with food was placed in front of me to eat. At first, I felt uneasy but after my stomach growled, I began to eat. The food tasted so nice that I began rushing it. I almost choked on the food. "Lo

IRIS I stared down at the clothes that were now properly arranged in the wardrobe. Thinking about everything, if felt like a dream; a dream I never wanted to wake up from. "Oh, mother," I sighed and walked to the window. "I wish you were here to see all of this. Finally, I can live the life you've always wanted." My hand trailed the glass windows as I stared down the building. "I'm no longer a slave. I'm being treated like a human being." Although lots of things had been taken from me, I was still grateful I was alive. At least, it was better than being dead or living in fear with some rogues out in the woods. The memories of what had happened were still fresh in my mind. I was meant to be dead. For goodness sake, I was thrown off a cliff by someone who once told me to call him father. And raped by a notorious man was enough to cause a great shift in my life but there I was, standing strong and hoping that one day, I would exert my revenge. I moved away from the window when I h

IRIS Getting prepared for school was like going through hell for me that Tuesday. I couldn't sleep the entire night as I was thinking about what everything would be like; the teachers, the subjects, and most importantly, the students. Hopefully, I won't be running into the luna any time soon. I got out of bed lazily and slipped into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and had a bath. Everything was still so surreal; I had my very own apartment and nobody was there to send me on errands or give me a limited time to finish up a task. I was living the life I had always wanted. The only thing I didn't have was a phone. Well, I was going to get a job and buy that myself. Immediately after I finished dressing up, I heard a knock on the door and swirled to open it. I didn't see anybody but when I was about to shut the door, my eyes went to the ground and I saw a package. I looked around the environment but I didn't see anybody. I picked up the bag and with one last look, I walked back in
